Kelly Andrews

About me

I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in the psychodynamic approach.

I believe that we are all influenced by our experiences and relationships in the past, as well as those we have in the present, and most importantly the relationship we have with ourselves.

Past relationships and experiences can impact the way we manage stress and cope with difficulties, it also can impact the way we respond to others and our own self-esteem.

My therapeutic approach is to help people think about, and recognise emotions, thoughts, early-life experiences, and beliefs and use these to recognise patterns and work through any difficulties they may be experiencing. Helping you explore and process, manage difficulties and move towards fulfilment and self-acceptance.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental and empathetic therapeutic relationship, in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences and untangle those difficult feelings and help you move forward.

I have 20 years of experience working in therapeutic roles within the NHS, The Local Authority and Psychology Teams, working with those who experienced trauma, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety, and neurodiversity. My experience has taught me that people are unique, and there is no "one size fits all" therapeutic approach, I aim to work with your nuances to provide tailored and holistic support that really fosters growth. 

If you are in emotional pain, experiencing anxiety or feeling lost, empty or burnt out, it can be an isolating and lonely experience. I understand that reaching out for help takes a huge amount of courage and is often something we feel ambivalent about, I offer a free of charge, no obligation 20-minute confidential chat if you would like to discuss the process or ask any questions.

If you decide to access therapy with me, we can go on to arrange weekly sessions at an agreed time.
